excluded. The FAA proposes to delete
the airway segment between the Sault
Ste Marie, MI, VOR/DME and the
Sudbury, ON, Canada, VOR/DME, and
the exclusionary language. The resulting
airway would extend between the
Ironwood, MI, VOR/DME and the
Sawyer, MI, VOR/DME.
V–180: V–180 currently extends
between the International Falls, MN,
VOR/DME and the Dryden, ON, Canada,
NDB. The airspace within Canada is
excluded. The FAA proposes to remove
the airway in its entirety.
All radials in the VOR Federal airway
descriptions below are unchanged and
stated in True degrees.
VOR Federal airways are published in
paragraph 6010(a) of FAA Order
7400.11E, dated July 21, 2020, and
effective September 15, 2020, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The VOR Federal airways listed in
this document would be subsequently
updated in the next edition of this
Order.
FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace

published yearly and effective on
September 15.
Regulatory Notices and Analyses
The FAA has determined that this
proposed regulation only involves an
established body of technical
regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to
keep them operationally current. It,
therefore: (1) Is not a ‘‘significant
regulatory action’’ under Executive
Order 12866; (2) is not a ‘‘significant
rule’’ under Department of
Transportation (DOT) Regulatory
Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034;
February 26, 1979); and (3) does not
warrant preparation of a regulatory
evaluation as the anticipated impact is
so minimal. Since this is a routine
matter that will only affect air traffic
procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this proposed rule, when
promulgated, will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Availability and Summary of
Documents for Incorporation by
Reference
This document proposes to amend
FAA Order 7400.11E, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points,
dated July 21, 2020, and effective
September 15, 2020. FAA Order
7400.11E is publicly available as listed
in the ADDRESSES section of this
document. FAA Order 7400.11E lists
Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas,
air traffic service routes, and reporting
points.
The Proposal
The FAA is proposing an amendment
to 14 CFR part 71 by modifying the
Class E airspace, extending upward
from 700 feet above the surface, at
Shively Field Airport, Saratoga, WY.
This airspace is designed to contain IFR
departures to 1,200 feet above the
surface and IFR arrivals descending
below 1,500 feet above the surface. To
properly contain arriving and departing
IFR aircraft, the radius south of the
airport should be reduced from 6.9
miles to 5 miles. The radius north of the
airport should increase from 6.9 miles to
7.3 miles. Also, the area extending north
of the airport should be increased to
properly contain IFR aircraft performing
a procedure turn maneuver for the
NDB–A Approach.
This action also proposes to remove
the Class E airspace extending upward
from 1,200 feet above the surface. This
airspace area is wholly contained within
the Denver en route airspace and
duplication is not necessary.
Further, this action proposes to
remove the Saratoga NDB and the
Cherokee VOR/DME from the Class E’s
text header and airspace description.
The navigational aids (NAVAIDs) are
not needed to define the airspace and
removal of the NAVAIDs simplifies the
airspace’s description.
Lastly, the action proposes
administrative updates to the airspace’s
text header. The city name should be
removed from the second line of the text
header, and the airport’s geographic
coordinates on the third line of the text
header should be updated to ‘‘lat.
41°26′37″ N, long. 106°49′39″ W’’ to
match the FAA database.
Class E5 airspace designations are
published in paragraph 6005 of FAA
Order 7400.11E, dated July 21, 2020,
and effective September 15, 2020, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
71.1. The Class E airspace designations
listed in this document will be
published subsequently in the Order.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses
The FAA has determined that this
regulation only involves an established
body of technical regulations for which
frequent and routine amendments are
necessary to keep them operationally
current, is non-controversial, and
unlikely to result in adverse or negative
comments. It, therefore: (1) Is not a
‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a
‘‘significant rule’’ under DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44
FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3)
does not warrant preparation of a
regulatory evaluation as the anticipated
impact is so minimal. Since this is a
routine matter that will only affect air
traffic procedures and air navigation, it
is certified that this rule, when
promulgated, would not have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act.
Environmental Review
This proposal will be subject to an
environmental analysis in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1F,
‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures’’ prior to any FAA final
regulatory action.

DATES:
The Fifth Coast Guard District has
been been notified of three fireworks
displays planned throughout the
Maryland-National Capital Region to
commemorate the July 4th holiday.
Hazards from these fireworks displays
include accidental discharge of
fireworks, dangerous projectiles, and
falling hot embers or other debris. To
respond to these hazards, the Coast
Guard plans to establish temporary
safety zones to protect the nearby
public.
1. The Sherwood Forest Club, Inc., of
Sherwood Forest, MD, plans to conduct
a fireworks display from 9:20 p.m. to
9:50 p.m. on July 3, 2021. The fireworks
are to be launched from the end of the
Sherwood Forest Club main pier,
located adjacent to the Severn River,
approximately 200 yards east of Brewer
Pond in Sherwood Forest, MD. In the
event of inclement weather, the
fireworks display will be scheduled for
July 5, 2021. The COTP MarylandNational Capital Region has determined
that potential hazards associated with
the fireworks to be used in this display
would be a safety concern for anyone
within 150 yards of the fireworks
discharge site.
2. Queen Anne’s County Government,
of Centreville, MD, plans to conduct a
fireworks display from 10 p.m. to 10:20
PO 00000
Frm 00058
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
24807
p.m. on July 4, 2021. The fireworks are
to be launched from Kent Island along
the Kent Island Narrows (North
Approach) in Chester, MD. In the event
of inclement weather, the fireworks
display will be scheduled for July 5,
2021. The COTP Maryland-National
Capital Region has determined that
potential hazards associated with the
fireworks to be used in this display
would be a safety concern for anyone
within 800 feet of the fireworks
discharge site.
3. The Independence Day
Commission of Havre de Grace, MD,
plans to conduct a fireworks display
from 9:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. on July 4,
2021. The fireworks are to be launched
from a fireworks barge located in the
Susquehanna River, approximately 300
yards southeast of Concord Point in
Havre de Grace, MD. In the event of
inclement weather, the fireworks
display will be scheduled for July 5,
2021. The COTP Maryland-National
Capital Region has determined that
potential hazards associated with the
fireworks to be used in this display
would be a safety concern for anyone
within 200 yards of the fireworks barge.
The Coast Guard is requesting that
interested parties provide comments
within a shortened comment period of
15 days instead of the typical 30 days
for this notice of proposed rulemaking.
The Coast Guard believes a shortened
comment period is necessary and
reasonable to ensure the Coast Guard
has time to review and respond to any
significant comments submitted by the
public in response to this NPRM and
has a final rule in effect in time for the
first scheduled event.
The Coast Guard is proposing this
rulemaking under authority in 46 U.S.C.
70034 (previously 33 U.S.C. 1231).
III. Discussion of Proposed Rule
The COTP is proposing to establish
three temporary safety zones for certain
navigable waters within the COTP
Maryland-National Capital Region Zone,
as described in 33 CFR 3.25–15, and
would be enforced during the times
described below for each zone.
The first safety zone would be
enforced from 8:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m.
on July 3, 2021, or if necessary due to
inclement weather, from 8:30 p.m. to
10:30 p.m. on July 5, 2021. The safety
zone would cover all navigable waters
of the Severn River, within 150 yards of
a fireworks discharge site located at the
end of Sherwood Forest Club main pier
in approximate position latitude
39°01′54.0″ N, longitude 076°32′41.8″
W, Sherwood Forest, MD. The duration
of the zone is intended to ensure the
safety of vessels and these navigable

in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11E lists
Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.
The Proposal
The FAA is proposing an amendment to 14 CFR part 71 by modifying
the Class E airspace, extending upward from 700 feet above the surface,
at Shively Field Airport, Saratoga, WY. This airspace is designed to
contain IFR departures to 1,200 feet above the surface and IFR arrivals
descending below 1,500 feet above the surface. To properly contain
arriving and departing IFR aircraft, the radius south of the airport
should be reduced from 6.9 miles to 5 miles. The radius north of the
airport should increase from 6.9 miles to 7.3 miles. Also, the area
extending north of the airport should be increased to properly contain
IFR aircraft performing a procedure turn maneuver for the NDB-A
Approach.
This action also proposes to remove the Class E airspace extending
upward from 1,200 feet above the surface. This airspace area is wholly
contained within the Denver en route airspace and duplication is not
necessary.
Further, this action proposes to remove the Saratoga NDB and the
Cherokee VOR/DME from the Class E's text header and airspace
description. The navigational aids (NAVAIDs) are not needed to define
the airspace and removal of the NAVAIDs simplifies the airspace's
description.
Lastly, the action proposes administrative updates to the
airspace's text header. The city name should be removed from the second
line of the text header, and the airport's geographic coordinates on
the third line of the text header should be updated to ``lat.
41[deg]26'37'' N, long. 106[deg]49'39'' W'' to match the FAA database.
Class E5 airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of
FAA Order 7400.11E, dated July 21, 2020, and effective September 15,
2020, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E
airspace designations listed in this document will be published
subsequently in the Order.
FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, is
published yearly and effective on September 15.
Regulatory Notices and Analyses
The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current, is
non-controversial, and unlikely to result in adverse or negative
comments. It, therefore: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action''
under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under
DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26,
1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation
as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter
that will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, would not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
Environmental Review
This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.
